Tips. 1  Full-grown Chihuahuas generally don't get to be above 6 to 9 inches tall. 2  If yours is taller than that, either as a puppy or an adult, he may be a mixed breed. 3  Don't use color as an indication of your dog's breed, as both short-and long-haired Chihuahuas can come in practically any color.

Factors Affecting Wave Speed. The speed of any wave depends upon the properties of the medium through which the wave is traveling. Typically there are two essential types of properties that affect wave speed - inertial properties and elastic properties.
When energy pushes the plates horizontally, the land does not raise or lower the water above it enough to cause a tsunami, Bellini said. The height of a tsunami wave is influenced by the ground's vertical movement, so changes in the seafloor's topography can either amplify or dampen a wave as it travels along.When moving in the ocean, a tsunami wave typically travels at up to 500 or 600 miles an hour â roughly the speed of a jet, Blakeman said.hen energy pushes the plates horizontally, the land does not raise or lower the water above it enough to cause a tsunami, Bellini said.
